  • Biggles Takes a Hand – Captain W.E. Johns – First Edition 1963

    Biggles Takes a Hand – Captain W.E. Johns – First Edition 1963

    A very good copy of this scarce first edition Biggles.

    Published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1963. Octavo, 160 pages with the odd illustration. Very good unclipped dust jacket the odd chip.

    Biggles receives a message … “If you will go to the Adlon Restaurant in Bank Street, Kensington, today, at a quarter to one precisely, and sit at table number two, you will be joined by someone who will give you information you should be glad to have – A Well-wisher”

    And, so it starts … great stuff and excellent use of commas.

  • The Black Bar – George Manville Fenn

    The Black Bar – George Manville Fenn

    A very nice copy of prolific writer George Manville Fenn’s “The Black Bar” a story of the British ship Nautilus patrolling the coast of West Africa deterring American slave ships.

    Published by Sampson Low, London, octavo, 312 pages with the odd illustration. No date, a prize label at front suggests 1930’s – at the rear we have a Jules Verne promotion that suggest before 1928. The prized was given in Battery Point – maybe an indicator as to how long it took books to arrive at these distant parts.

    Beautifully written as expected from Fenn. The story not at all uncivilised and a reminder of things that go on in the world – to this day.

    The Nautilus off the Coast of Africa doing good work ..
